View of the lake in Biosphärenreservat Spreewald

Highlight • Viewpoint

The circular route around the lake has a length of approx. 4.5 km. Every now and then there are small views and oases of calm on the lake and on the "Haus am See"

At this point you look into a rewetted alder forest, the starting point of the "Butzener Bagen". The actual moor is surrounded by a swamp forest and is therefore not accessible. It lies further east from here and consists of a closed peat bog cover, the so-called "swinging grass".

With almost 30 hectares in size and numerous rare animal and plant species, the Butzener Bagen is one of the 100 most valuable moors in Brandenburg. It gets its water from the immediate vicinity and from the mountain lake on the other side. The mountain lake used to be a stream, and the wall you are standing on here was artificially built in the first half of the 20th century to dam up the lake.

The ditch that the bridge crosses drained the area for many years. During this time, residents were allowed to use parts of the Bagen as grassland. With drainage, however, the bog lost many of its important functions. It was not until 2006 that the Garben at the Bagen outflow was closed. Since then, the moor has recovered and can grow again. The trees that appear from time to time do not always withstand the increased water, but often die. As a result, they in turn provide habitat for many animal species that specialize in deadwood. In 2012, middle and lesser woodpeckers were found as breeding birds in the Bagen for the first time.

Bergsee Parking Area

Highlight • Parking

Welcome to the Lieberose wilderness area!

The wilderness area is part of the largest former military training area in East Germany. Due to decades of military use, many areas have remained unused for a long time. What remained was a huge contiguous area that is uninhabited and without roads. Today it is under nature protection and offers a habitat for rare species such as wolves, otters and white-tailed eagles.

The Brandenburg Natural Landscape Foundation owns a large part of the area and protects it permanently for wilderness development. This means that no more interventions are taking place on a large part of the area. On the wilderness trail you can experience the development of the area.

Please be considerate of nature in the wilderness area. This means:
- For your own protection and in accordance with the NSG regulation, only use the secured hiking trails that have been cleared of ordnance and are marked.
- Watch out for hanging branches, dead trees and avoid the area during thunderstorms, strong winds, ice, heavy rain or risk of fire.
- Keep your dogs on a leash.
- Pay attention to sunscreen and enough drinks in the heat.

If you are interested in wilderness development and want to find out more about the area, then visit our website: stiftung-nlb.de

We also offer themed tours in our wilderness areas. All information about hiking trails and our online event calendar can be found under the following link:
